Book 4: Chapter 38.3: Exposed Part III

An Office within the Governmental Building at the Center of the Capital City

Right after the Universal Notification

Jacob R. Ashton stares blankly at the livestream feeling unsure of how he should be right now. Because he knew White had been hiding something, but the government official who had overseen Scarlets registration as a Guardian still trusted her absolutely and didnt think whatever she was hiding would be this severe.

But now, as he watches the livestream, he cant help but wonder

Was this all planned? Did she have Scarlet with the Blood Calamity just to bring the worlds together? Or does she truly love the blood lycan Demon Lord?

Jacob continues staring at the livestream until White finally steps forward and begins speaking.

Hello people of the Terran Republic, my name is Amelia Asger, but most of you may know me as the White Knight of Humanity. To start things off, I did in fact have a child with the Blood Calamity Demon Lord, and that child is the Guardian you all know as the Scarlet Wolf. What many of you might find hard to believe is that not all demons are bad. Most of them are simply following the orders of the Demon King, who wishes to take over Earth in order to clear the curses from the demon race. But after his granddaughter, my daughter, and the Princess of the Demons asked him to stop, he decided to ban his demon forces from attacking the civilians. White clenches her fists. My daughter did that. She has already saved millions of lives just from that act alone, and she has been saving countless more over her time as a Guardian both on and off the frontlines. So please

Jacobs eyes widen in absolute shock when the White Knight of Humanity bows down before the camera and says, Please lay any and all of your hatred towards me and leave her out of it. Please do not hate her for her demon blood. I beg of you.

And Jacobs shock doesnt end there as the Black Knight of Humanity steps forward and joins her in bowing as he says, All five of us Knights knew about this, so please lay your blame on me as well. The Scarlet Wolf deserves none of it. She had no choice in any of this and was left in fear ever since she found out she was part demon a little over a year ago. So please. Dont hate her.

Then the Purple Knight of Humanity simply nods her head, her eyes still closed when she says, They speak the truth, and nothing more.

Yeeeeaaah, the Red Knight of Humanity says while smiling with his arms crossed and moving up close to the livestream, I personally want to fight the Scarlet Wolf when she reaches my level of strength, so dont you dare go harassing the little fiend.

Jacob feels a chill run down his spine at that declaration, but hes too surprised by the sight that follows to care as the Blue Knight of Humanity slowly steps forwards and says, Demon or not, the Scarlet Wolf is the only one who is capable of saving the Earth. Believe of her as you will, but know that when you make your decision.

The Knights let nearly an entire minute pass in silence before the ones bowing finally raise their heads, and following that, White begins speaking again, Now, I would like to explain the prophecy to you all to help you make a decision.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

They had this all prepared beforehand. Its obvious. Theres no way they couldve prepared this all within moments of the girl getting her Title. Absolutely no way. Which means theyve been holding off, waiting for the girl to get exposed so that they can immediately flip public interest and promote their own plans.

Jacob smiles ever so slightly at the thought. That White hasnt changed all these years.

[AquaMarine Well, she would have to be considering that she has the Royal name Archeron. But she isnt a bad person. Not like White who hid this all from us and even her own daughter.]

Allen winces slightly at that last one. Something he no doubt believes is directed towards the beginning of the prophecy that White had begun to explain. The part about abandoning her daughter to leave her at an orphanage without telling her anything about her heritage or the prophecy.

Shes doing a good job of redirecting any hate away from Scarlet, but does she have to redirect it all to herself? Belle asks, sounding a little sad but also happy that Scarlet is being accepted so far.

I think shes trying to do it as a way to repent for what she did to her own daughter, Allen mutters while scratching the back of his head with his arm not attached to his terminal.

Allen continues reading more of the chat, finding it hard to keep up due to the millions of messages passing through it at a time, forcing him to delay the chat just to be able to read them.

[Thunderbolt87 I think Scarlet is fine. There cant be anything wrong with a cute girl with wolf ears!]

[StarryNight Scarlet is a nice girl with a dark past. Theres no reason to hold her mothers actions against the daughter.]

[MoonlitGarden But what if she goes all demon on us and starts attacking people at random?]

[GoldenEagle99 Thats not possible. The majority of the sapient demons are just as intelligent as a human, and Scarlet is a Pride demon. Her curse wont make her lose control and attack people at random. The worst it might do is make her attack an enemy she was already attacking and losing against. Nothing more than that.]

[Celestial_9 Wait, really? I thought all demons attacked indiscriminately]

[StarryEyes123 No, the only reason the demons in the Fractures and in the Demon Army are attacking us is because of the Demon Kings orders.]

[Maverick89 The same Demon King that is the grandfather of the Scarlet Wolf? Are you sure we can trust her?]

[StarryEyes123 She already convinced the Demon King to stop attacking civilians, so I say we trust her.]

Tears build up in Allens eyes as he continues reading the chat, even if a lot of it appears to target White rather harshly. But their plan seems to have worked.

He then looks to the East in the direction of the Eastern continent where Scarlet is before muttering, Now its all up to you, sweetie.
